I can't believe this isn't here, but Chainer is a must-have for MPT. While i'm not currently using it, Tassel of Blue is using it in her EDM and swears by it. She has taught me a little about what it can do, and when i get back to tracking songs for Aeon, i will definitely be using it. I'm sure a link can be found at KVR, but for those who don't know, it's not free.

But it should be required reading, so to speak. It really opens up MPT's capabilities. Thanks to LPChip, we never would have tried it were it not for his "advertising". :wink:

Name of VST: Kitchen SyncThis VST does: Syncs flanging, filtering, and panning LFOs and envelopes to your host's clock. We were looking for a synchronized leslie for a pad when we went to post, and MDA's was impossible to work with. Kitchen sync allows you to set your leslie (or flanger) to ModPlug's clock.Quality: Very good.License of this VST (and costs): Freeware.Link to VST or site: Found it at kvraudio.com.

Sir Elliot’s 1977 Preamplifier is aimed for those who master music that would like a rich tone with a touch of character. The 1977 Preamplifier performs superb on Jazz & Dance music that sounds too flat. This Preamplifier was designed on a 192 kHz platform to take full advantage of high sample rates ranging from 88.2 to 192 kHz however, will function fine on low sample rates such as 48 & 44.1 kHz.

A new and improved interface with reverb and compression, this new effect plugin is again designed primarily for drums, but can be used also for tracking any audio source. Tested mainly in Windows 7 64bit, in my testing I used Soundforge to put it through its paces and it only used on average 1% of the cpu core. Tested in win7 64/32bit XP 32 bit.

This is an emulation of an Dallas Rangemaster with added controls for tweaking or for use as a full-range booster, an overdrive, and more. It runs in mono or stereo, and has 2x oversampling (always on).

The Rangemaster was a Germanium transistor treble boost developed in the 1960s. It and similar effects have been used by Eric Claption, Brian May, and many more great guitarists. It’s most often used to drive a distorted tube amp into more distortion, while boosting the upper-mids for a screaming lead sound.

TB EZQ is a zero-latency, VST implementation of the work by Andrew Sabin and Bryan Pardo from the interactive audio lab at Northwestern University, IL, USA. They developed a method to automatically map common equalization manipulations involving multiple equalizer controls onto descriptive terms such as ‘warm’, ‘dark’ and ‘bright’. These descriptive labels can subsequently be placed onto a 2-dimensional space, in which each point represents a certain amount of ‘warmth’, ‘darkness’, and ‘brightness’. More information can be found in their paper.

TB EZQ consists of a static implementation of their results with fixed descriptors. With this plugin, common equalization tasks to manipulate warmth or brightness can be performed much more efficient than with common equalizers involving many controls that require manipulation.

TB EZQ FEATURES

*Zero-latency processing.*Support of all sampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz.*Simple and intuitive user interface.*Based on the VST 2.4 specification to allow compatibility with virtually all host programs.*TB EZQ is available to download as a freeware VST plug-in for Windows and Mac.
